I guess that's why the success many open source projects relies on someone with the authority and willingness to make the final decisions (which takes a lot of their time on the project I would imagine, or in some cases most of it). There doesn't seem to be one "lead developer" or "benevolent dictator" of PCB as far I can tell. Maybe elect one? :) However, I think a majority of contributions wouldn't or shouldn't cause enough controversy or disagreement that the person willing to do the work of verifying the patch can't just make the decisions. You just need someone familiar enough the code to know without too much digging that a particular patch isn't going to affect/break something the contributor wasn't aware of.
